Subject: [bug#38276] Fix kernel-headers path in clang
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2019 17:19:01 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

Indexing tools such as ccls use "clang" package (and more specifically
the libclang library it provides) to analyse code.

In that use case, clang cannot find kernel headers path. This is because
it is normally set as propagated inputs of gcc-toolchain and clang-toolchain, an
thus available via CPATH.

This patch proposes to hardcode kernel headers path into clang.

What do you think?

Mathieu

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: clang-from-llvm: Add kernel-headers to default include
 directories.

Stand-alone "clang" binary is not able to find kernel headers because they are
normally set as propagated inputs of gcc-toolchain and clang-toolchain, an
thus available via CPATH.

As some code indexers rely on libclang, kernel-headers include path needs to
be hard-coded.
